As the foremost inheritor of the strong tradition of children's literature in Korea, Changbi has newly established the Changbi Prize for New Figures in Children's Literature Criticism in addition to founding the quarterly Changbi Review of Children's Literature. With the recent and remarkable expansion of the realm of children's literature, the role and responsibility of criticism have become important as never before. To develop further juvenile literature, active criticism is imperative. With such hopes and goals, Changbi eagerly awaits new voices that will help to energize the creation and critique of children's literature in Korea.
